Friday night was a chance for Aamir to show Martin the 4 step sequence that we had learned last week from Sharon at Danceology in Huddersfield.After just three songs he had it almost perfect... well he is a fast learner.

We had the pleasure if Chris Davis joining us from alison, a community initiative based on an estate called Brookfield in Preston. Chris has lived and worked on the estate for nearly 20 years and shared his journey with us. This was only a hand full of talks Chris has done on his work and therefore it was a special moment to listen to him speak.

Lots to think about not least the fact he doesn't call himself an artist, has a manifesto written by the community he works with and managed to stay completely independent and true to their values and integrity of the 'true' needs of the community. Here is a snap shot of the in-conversation held at Marsden Heights Community College.
